1 minute 40? I want the whole two hours!

Via various people, Robot Chicken's 'Wrath of Khan - The Opera'

I can't remember quite where I saw it, but about a decade and a half ago I saw an outline of a Wrath of Khan filk based on West Wide Story. Two couplets that stuck in my memory:

When you're a Red, you're a Red all the way
From your first away team to your last dying day

or

Reliant! I just stole a ship named Reliant!
And suddenly I've found, a way to get around those staaaars!

Unlike the Dune musical (with Fremen chorus) that I've managed to almost completely obliterate from my memory, this sounded like something that I'd actually be willing to watch.

Nice to see Robot Chicken getting the sort of budgets where they can afford an orchestra and a decent tenor.

My brain just melted.
